Addressing the gathering, the Satradhikar of Bagharganya Satra near Jakhalabandha and noted public speaker Hiru Prasad Mahanta said that as part of a fast-developing Bharat, Assam too is achieving significant gains on many counts. He stated that this progress was possible because the Assamese nation was built on the foundation laid by Sankardev, Madhobdev and Sukapha, not Sankardev and Ajan Fakir.
